Whether you like your ham crosshatched or spiral-sliced, spicy or sweet, we've got just the recipe for your Christmas feast. The differences may seem subtle at first, but choosing the right glaze or spice rub to suit your palate will make a world of difference.

You can’t go wrong with a classic spiral-sliced ham dressed in a super-seasonal fig-and-orange glaze. For the best flavor results, spoon half of the glaze over the ham before baking and save the rest to drizzle on top once the ham comes out of the oven.

Even if there's a blizzard on Christmas Day, Pat and Gina Neely's traditional glazed ham will transport you to warmer climates with its Hawaiian-inspired pineapple and maraschino cherry toppings. An easy glaze made with Dijon mustard, brown sugar and thyme adds tons of flavor.
